During Lent, Christians focus on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving (giving to charity) to prepare for Easter - it's all about reflecting on Jesus' sacrifcie, and deepening spiritual lives through self-denial, increased prayer, and acts of service, with practices like attending Church and reflecting on daily scripture.

In St. Bernard's Catholic Primary School it will be a most special and spiritual time - so many different events and activities planned for our children.

Lent is 40 days long. 

A reminder of Christ's 40 days in the wilderness.

A reminder of Christ's defeat of temptation.

Purple is the colour of the Church during Lent. It will be displayed on our school altar - a reminder of Christ's passion and the sovereignty He claimed through His suffering and resurrection.

It will be a journey for us all - a journey of penance, repentance, and renewal for us all.
